There is lots of evidence that if its caught early then it can be halted or at least slowed down substantially. So with your readings do not be fobbed off.Ask for a HbA1c, this will show your average levels for the last 3 months. Its an important diagnostic tool.As you are already testing, this is good. That is what I do. I have had three readings of 6.2, 6.2 and 6.3 over the last year which shows that things were going wrong. I now test regularly. As your readings are higher than they should be, have a good look at what you have eaten at each meal. Many  of us find that by cutting all sugar, and reducing by at least half our carb intake, we can bring the levels down. Do read up on the type II forum about carb intake. Daisy used to post some interesting stuff, you may find it helpful.</blockquote>
